The Game Boy is the most popular handheld gaming console ever. It allowed us to take games like Tetris, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda with us on-the-go, changing the gaming industry and our free time forever. On the 30th anniversary of its release, Marques Brownlee unboxes and explores how the Game Boy came to be, it's impact on society, and why it's leaving us feeling so nostalgic.

I loved my Gameboy. Despite its deficiencies and lack of a colour screen, the games were ADDICTIVE TO HELL! I spent literally HOURS playing on this system and carried it around in my pocket everywhere. Now, I can't even get hold of one because they are so rare.

What was the point of submitting a mint condition Game Boy to the flamethrower "test"? The gulf war anecdote is well known and self explanatory, showing pictures of the charred device would be enough. It was painful to see that level of disrespect for something the video is supposed to celebrate...

Awesome work!! a lot of memories of my youth with the original game boy. Do you know where can I find one original game boy brand new? For the next episode without any doubt you should go for the Walkman! Keep up the good work

You know, I had an idea for a Game Boy Classic Edition, and I think this Gameboy Classic Edition should have these features:-Have the same saving features as the NES Classic Edition-Have a backlit screen while still having the games in black-&-white with green coloring that the console is known for-Have the model be shaped after the Gameboy Pocket with all different kinds of colors (or get a special original model Gameboy version which costs more, but is a great collectors item)-Have wireless connectivity to other Gameboys for multiplayer & digital TVs to play the games on it with added color like it's a Super Gameboy-Have a rechargeable battery that can charge through a USB cableand these would be the games:1. Tetris2. Dr. Mario3. Super Mario Land4. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins5. Wario Land: Super Mario Land 36. Pokemon Red/Blue (you will get one of these randomly)7. Mario's Picross8. Operation C9.
